Gravicask, 1/3 pint at GBBF Winter '23. Shared with Finn. Bubbly white head over a clear golden body, clingy lacing. Lemony hops and grainy aromas. Impacts of grapefruit and lemony hops to the flavour profile. Drying close, ripe fruity bitterness to it. Likeable. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter festival i Burton-Upon-Trent. Lys gylden. Klar. Lavt luftig skum. Tung fruktaroma. Smaken tørket frukt & skog. Tørr bitter avslutning.
